Do you happen to have more and more customers who are struggling to combine a healthy lifestyle with their passion for baking? Lots of people nowadays are aware of the effects of sugar on their health and therefore try to cut them out of their diet. But how to combine this with baking? Well, with the new range Low Sugar Baking Mixes from FunCakes! The 5 must-have baking mixes for Cupcakes, Sponge Cake, Enchanted Cream®, Buttercream and Crème Patisserie are now available in a version that’s both delicious and healthier. You can recognize these mixes by the ‘low sugar’ icon on the label.
A conscious and tasty choice
We bakers crave sweets and love that amazing smell of freshly baked cakes. We all know that also means we take up quite some sugar. Eating completely sugar free is impossible, as also fruits, dairy, cereals and some vegetables contain fruits. And there’s nothing wrong with that! But by adding soda, sweets, and yes… unfortunately also cake to our diet, we take in another portion of sugar. As FunCakes strives to be as transparent as possible about her products and the ingredients, it’s no secret they contain quite some sugar. And a guilty pleasure every once in a while never hurt nobody, right? However, to let those people who follow a sugar reduced diet still enjoy a delicious cake, FunCakes now has 5 low sugar baking mixes!
What’s the difference?
Expect the low sugar range to have the same quality, same workability and a fantastic taste, just as you are used to from FunCakes. Without having to give in on these aspects, FunCakes produced baking mixes that contain 40-85% less sugar. But how did they replace this sugar?
FunCakes have managed to replace the sugar by ingredients as natural as possible that still give these cakes and fillings a sweet taste. The new Mix for Cupcakes and Sponge Cake contain 40% less sugar, which they replaced by dietary fiber. The mixes for Crème Patisserie, Buttercream and Enchanted Cream® are even reduced to respectively 70, 80 and 85% less sugar, whereby the sugar has been partially replaced by dietary fiber and partially by sorbitol. Sorbitol is a natural sugar that’s coming from several kinds of fruits. It’s an extensive sweetener, that’s less sweet than sugar and affords less calories. Thanks to these dietary fiber and the 5 mixes have that delicious, sweet flavour in a healthier way.
Lactose free
Apart from low in sugar, the mixes for Cupcakes and Sponge Cake are also lactose free! This means they aren’t only an healthier option, they are also an option for people with a lactose intolerance.
